Abacus Brands Virtual Reality World Atlas Gift Box- Science Kit Ages 8-12

My daughter loves it! And I think it’s great too. The quality is pretty good for the price. It’s a great learning tool for kids. I will be purchasing more of their products.

Barato y muy util

My grandson was very excited to receive this as a birthday gift & enjoys using it!

Got this for my homeschooled kiddos as a fun supplement to geography. We were very excited opening the book and seeing all the "snapshots on each page, assuming each would be selectable/exploration. Sadly this is not the case. Not even every individual country or page can be selected. Many 2 page spreads only have one "entry point" which will then take you to a virtual room where you can select from 3 specific items on the wall. Of those 3, often one or 2 will be a 2 d video played on the wall of the vr room, with only some even being 3d scenes. What 3d scenes there are, are nice, with a full view including above. Just about all the immersive locations that include people seem to be full of tourists, so also sad we don't get a view of local communities aside from tourist centric scenes. There are several pages we can't seem to activate at all. All told: I'd say the book alone (as far as a standalone atlas) is worth a good chunk of the price, and the headset seems solid enough to be worth most of the rest, but this isn't nearly as in depth as we had hoped, and we're hesitant to invest in the other offerings now. If you are looking for a novelty that will reassure you that your kids may learn a tidbit or two, it's a neat item, but it's not got the depth to be much more than a novelty. You could easily find all this content on YouTube for free, so you are essentially paying for a book, a headset, and a couple dozen 3d scenes.

Really great set. We just received two defective books in a row where the binding fell apart as soon as we opened it.

Once you get the device set up, it is amazing. You can not only see far away lands but you can interact with each setting to learn about that destination. My grandson loves this! Very similar to the VR headset! Would totally recommend!

Do you want your child borrowing your smart phone to use this activity? If so, then it’s an ok novelty gift. In my case, I didn’t read that it required phone usage (my own fault), and I hate having them sitting there with a smart phone strapped to their heads. Poor product, terrible value.

New avenue for researching the world. Requires adult assistance to set up and guide children throughout the various sites. Not a game but children find it entertaining as they travel through the many cities and countries. Grandchildren are age 6 and 9 and are enjoying the journeys.

I bought this “toy” for my 9 year-old who is very interested in geography and virtual reality. After opening it up and downloading the app — all I got to say is — “WOW!” Admittedly I had low expectations, and they were blown outta the water. The book is cool but the app is simply amazing. My kid and myself had to go though each page and explore all the virtual reality. It comes with a scratch-off map which is just ok. AND — the way the map is rolled and taped, when you remove the tape, it takes some of the scratch-off with it — the company needs to fix this problem! I think it could have had something better and more fun (more of a toy) for my son to play with… but that’s the only bad part of this. We like this so much that we also bought the HUMAN BODY VR one… and we will probably buy more — maybe ll of them!

Excellent product!

Not how it is described very disappointed

Captured attention and interest with the virtual reality "teleporting" ability.

Disappointing. Can’t decide between two or three stars. There isn’t all that much virtual reality content and you have to stick your phone in the goggles (on a little horizontal platform) and then you’re simply looking at a phone screen, through goggles. My son still likes it but it’s not what I had in mind.
